Of interest to tourists
Date: 7/27/2012
Time & Place:
Extraco Coliseum & Extraco Show Pavilion
Description:
Reining is a western riding competition for horses where the riders guide the horses through a precise pattern of circles, spins, and stops. Reining is often described as a Western form of dressage riding, as it requires the horse to be responsive and in tune with its rider, whose aids should not be easily seen, and judges the horse on its ability to perform a set pattern of movements. The horse should be willingly guided or controlled with little or no apparent resistance and dictated to completely.
The One HOT Reining at the Extraco Events Center invites horses, trainers and riders from across the world to compete in Waco. July 26-29 – admission and parking is free – competition starts at 8:00 AM daily.
